  • Patent number: 5895725
    Abstract: A safety oriented article of giftware is provided by fastening a cushioning pad (15) to the coarse underside of a rectangular highway pavement lane delineator marker button (10), or a circular convex button (20). This modification structurally alters the function of buttons (10, 20) to serve as a safety catalyst for traversing the imaginary highway of life. Added structural accoutrements, such as a plaque (30), a conventional audio device (22), and a pen funnel (36) further modifies the buttons (10, 20) to provide a greater use of their safety stimuli. Also, caricatures, or images of famous or well-known persons, places and things may be used to provide a new tool and method of creating information, both visual and auditory, so that organizations can convey safety and quality assurance in products and services. Structurally modifying buttons (10, 20) greatly broadens the use of their normally passive, inert safety stimuli, and brings their catalytic safety qualities to the fore.
